The "Aluminum Overcast," a B-17 aircraft constructed in 1945, is visiting the Ogden airport as part of the Experimental Aircraft Association's 2010 "Salute to Veterans" tour. The B-17 bomber, nicknamed the "Flying Fortress," was flown as a prototype in 1935, and celebrates its 75th year this year. The B-17 is credited with helping to turn the tide of the war in Europe during World War II.
